We selected this tour based on research and it exceeded our expectations. My spouse and I enjoyed an amazing tour with Andre (our tour guide). We have previously had good tour experiences in Rome and elsewhere, but Andre is the platinum standard for tour guides. This was an important pilgrimage stop for us and we are happy we met Andre. It was an extraordinary day. Our pick-up was on time and Andre was consistently punctual and jovial. We definitely enjoyed a leisurely day full of knowledge, explanations, humour, recommendations and excellent sightseeing tips. We had ample independent time to explore the Fatima Sanctuary and sites, the apparition site where the Angel appeared, the homes of the shepherd children, the Nazare neighbourhood and chapel, Obidos, gift shops and hilltop views of Nazare and beaches. We even met one of Lucia's relatives. The recommended restaurant In Nazare was well worth our lunch stop. The menu was diverse, the food tasty & the presentation was eye-catching.

Wow what a day! A perfect day from A to Z. We cannot thank enough our guide and tour driver Andre! He went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable day. If you ever come to Lisbon make sure you take this tour and specify that you want Andre Feldman to be your tour guide.

Luis, our guide was very informative. We had a wonderful time with him. His suggestions were impressive, unbiased. He drove us through the towns smoothly with a perfect mix of quietness and information. Would highly recommend this trip!
